The Regnal Chronology of the Kings of Judah and Israel: An Illustrated Guide

by Chris McKinny

A digital handbook full of charts illustrating the chronology of the biblical kings of Judah and Israel. The chart consists of a series of ten 50-year panes that cover the chronology of Israel and Judah from 1050 to 550 BC. Each pane is accompanied by a breakout chart of all of the available regnal details of each king.

Extra-biblical texts and photographs have been included to supplement and illustrate the chronology. This includes a summary of each of the intersections with the major imperial powers of Egypt, Assyria, and Babylon, and detailed charts of the known kings of the surrounding nation states (e.g., Moab). All of this is lavishly illustrated with over 100 high-resolution photos from the Pictorial Library of Bible Lands collection.

“Chris McKinny’s Regnal Chronology provides a great combination of historical data juxtaposed with relevant archaeological discoveries. As I worked through the Illustrated Guide, I was amazed at the volume of information provided, the consistent placement of that information in its chronological context, and clear explanations of the significance of key archaeological discoveries related to a given time frame. Wow! I look forward to making use of this resource and introducing it to my students.”Michael A. Grisanti, Professor of Old Testament, The Master’s Seminary
